Duty Free, One Down One to Go!

When we returned from our two months overseas earlier this year we bought a couple of bottles of both Tricia's favorite, "Pernod" as well as Frangelico "Duty Free'.  Following Tricia's footy team's big win in the Grand Final on Saturday, bottle 1 of the Pernod has now been emptied!

That is three premierships in a row to Hawthorn!  Trish loved the game but for those barracking for neither side the game was a fizzer!  But the drinks we had, the hot pies and the scrumptious prawns were just delightful!

For me the eating and drinking were the most enjoyable features of the day.

The NRL Grand Final (Rugby League) played the next night was a great match to watch because of the closeness of the scores and the amazing finish.  Both games were sellouts but a ticket to the NRL Grand final was around $45 a ticket while a ticket up in the nosebleeds for the AFL Grand Final was around $170!  And they could have sold the AFL Grand Final tickets twice over!

The weather here has been spectacular.  High 20's each day and hardly a breath of wind nor a cloud.  I have been back in the pool each day after my bike ride with the swims getting a little longer each day.  But the water is still cold.

It was to the pool shop today for the 'before the summer swimming season pool chemical' top up!  A couple of bags of salt, some "Buffer" and a bag of "PH Increaser" and by late afternoon today the water will be perfect (if a little on the cooler side)!

Cricket is back on the TV again so all is going along nicely!

A brew will go on tomorrow so that will keep things ticking over.

This website looks interesting!  (https://couchpota.to/)  I can run the "Chrome" web browser on my Android Box and this would be another way to enjoy movies. Or you could go online and just hook your lightweight laptop up to your TV with a HDMI lead and off you go!
